Barthes - Theorist

Barthes theory can be applied to any film therefore below I have applied it to my music video;

1. HERMENEUTIC     (ENIGMA CODE)
              In our music video the audience question what will happen between
              the couple and why he's alseep at the end of the music video.

2. ACTION CODE
              Do we gain closure at the end of the music video?
              I don't think that we do, as the audience are left questioning things,
              also, nothing happens between the couple.

3. SEMANTIC CODE
              The video can symbolise the relationship that bands have with their fans,
              however, I do think that the story behind the music video is very straight-
              forward and simple to understand due to the visuals matching the lyrics.

4. CULTURAL (REFERENTIAL) CODE
              There is the ideology that male bands have lots of female fans which
              we have used within our music video. We also relate to the culture of
              bands, with the locations that they can be found in.

5. SYMBOLIC CODE
              I personally don't believe that there is a bigger or deeper meaning to
              the music video, however, there may be a bigger or deeper meaning
              to the lyrics of the song.
